I may not love all the picks but I like the rationale behind them. Can Bush do kick returns? Not sure I see that move happening unless he has zero market and the Seahawks think he could make Washington expendable.

I think if Carradine really was a stealth top 10 pick that's being knocked down for an injury he had a long time ago, you'd see that reflected in his draft stock. He might not go top 10, but he'd probably be mocked in the top 25.

In other words, I think the top 10 talk for Carradine was probably off the mark in the first place.

Carradine is Okayish. He's a bit cumbersome sometimes. Not a great speed guy. Sometimes a bit slow off the snap. Likes a hand swipe move that works more often than it should. Will it work in the NFL? Not sure. He doesn't really use anything else. Has a nice lean. More consistent in causing problems than Werner. Can't knock his production since he started for FSU. But he was always a solid second rounder, maybe late first. And the injury is a turn off.

I'm by no means a Reggie Bush fan but think he could be had for relative value and can be a real weapon in the offensive game. Our offense would be stacked with Lynch, Bush, Rice, Tate, Hunter, Miller, Reed and we would have many many packages to work with and give defense all kinds of trouble.

My take is that he doesn't shed blocks very well, doesn't always demonstrate good pad levels and needs better awareness vs the run. Still, I think he has rare athleticism and a high ceiling for a mid round pick and could be a great fit for our scheme with some polish.

I don't mind him. Had him in a couple of fantasy teams last year and some weeks he'd win you a week, others he'd score a couple of points and you'd want to cut him on the spot. They had another guy (Bell?) taking a lot of his touches away. But I think they like the extra physicality of a big back to go with a smaller pass catcher.

They don't like him enough to keep him on the field the last two minutes of the game. Leshoure is a one dimensional back, who really isn't that physical for a "big back", and isn't a polished enough pass catcher or blocker to stay on the field on third downs or in hurry up/2min drill. While the depth chart may not indicate this, I think if Detroit had a chance to upgrade they would, and they also wouldn't hesitate to give another RB (that fit their profile a little better) the lions share of the carries.

Dont do that again.

Ha, didn't even notice it. That is bad.

I like some of the players you mocked to us, they fit the size/speed type of players the Seahawks like. I like Elam, but we already have a lot of quality depth at safety...So what is your reasoning for selecting Elam? Do you envision him as the nickel CB or big nickel?

Looks like the Lions signed Bush, with a promise of being the starting RB. Who woulda thunk it?
